Daily Tech News 28 August 2023

Top Story

The creators of seven popular programming languages - Python, Java, Smalltalk, Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C#, and Typescript - will be presenting together in Seattle on September 19th. (Pydata)

That's four presenters - Anders Hejlberg has been a busy boy over the years.

Guido van Rossum will be talking about Python, James Gosling about Java, Adele Goldberg will be representing the original Smalltalk team (all of whom appear to still be with us, and mostly still active, some forty years later), and Anders the rest.

Almost worth going to Seattle for.

Tech News

Gigabyte has announced its new Brix Extreme range of NUCs. (Liliputing)

Mostly these are 4 and 6 core Ryzen 7035U chips - that is, Zen 3 CPUs with RDNA2 graphics. Adequate but hardly groundbreaking.

But the last model is a Ryzen 7840U: 8 Zen 4 cores and 12 RDNA 3 graphics cores. This is one of the first 7840U devices I've seen; mostly manufacturers have been using the slightly faster but significantly more power-hungry 7840HS, or the rebadged Ryzen Z1 Extreme.

Anyway, apart from the CPU it offers two SO-DIMM slots for a nominal 64GB of RAM, though 96GB should work, one M.2 slot, two HDMI ports, mini DisplayPort, USB-C with DisplayPort (so a total of four monitors), plus another USB-C without video, and five USB-A ports. And 2.5Gb Ethernet and a headphone jack.

If that's not enough there's a tiny expansion bay where you can add a module for another 2.5Gb Ethernet port, a second M.2 slot, and for some reason, a serial port.

Prices were not mentioned.
AMD's Radeon RX 7600 is now available at Micro Center for $229. (WCCFTech)

It's not a high-end card, but that's not a high-end price.
Amazone just sent a Dear John letter to users of its Honeycode service. (Honeycode Community)

This was a platform that allowed people who didn't understand how to build applications to build applications that they didn't understand.

The results were rather predictable.
